Pasta with zucchini is a light, delicate, and aromatic dish that embodies the spirit of modern European cuisine. Its history is rooted in the tradition of using seasonal vegetables in pasta, allowing for enjoyment of fresh and natural flavors. Tender zucchinis sautéed to softness fill the sauce with delicate sweetness, while the addition of lemon zest adds refreshing citrus notes. Soft cheese and milk create a creamy texture that perfectly coats the pasta. This dish is especially suitable for a summer lunch or light dinner when you crave something tasty yet not heavy. The simplicity of preparation makes it ideal for weekdays, while its refined taste is worthy of any table.
